Refactor nautilus extension (#10106)

Following #10082 I took the opportunity to clean up the code in the
nautilus extension a little. Specifically, this pull request

- turns methods that weren't using `self` into functions,
- inlines a helper method that was trivial after #10082,
- extracts duplicate code in both menu item callbacks into a new helper
function, and
- removes the compatibility hack for the Nautilus 3.0 API, i.e. GNOME 42
and older.

I'm not that sure about the last point, as it's not clear to me what the
support baseline is here: GNOME 43 (the first version to support the
Nautilus 4.0 API) was released in Sep 2022, i.e. is almost as old as
Ghostty itself. The previous Debian stable release already included
GNOME 43, but Ubuntu 22.04 (the LTS before the current 24.04 LTS) still
includes GNOME 42. Does Ghostty support a system that old? If so, I'll
drop the corresponding commit from this PR.
